Chapter 6: Unexpected Power (2/2)
The armour was one centimeter thick. The sword went through it easily, as if Fei was cutting through a piece of paper. The strike cut the armour in half, with the upper half of the armour shortly landing on the ground and making another “tink” sound.
“Holy shit!”
Although Fei didn’t believe in god or ghosts, but there was no other way to explain what had happened.
“Why am I so strong now?”
Fei subconsciously swung the sword again, but he still didn’t feel any weight.
The double handed sword was clearly a real weapon.
“This feeling…”
Fei closed his eye trying to remember the way he handled the sword. It felt the same as when he was a barbarian in the “dream”, swinging the double handed axe at the monsters.
“Did I…”
Fei was shocked.
“Did I bring back the power of my barbarian character from the ‘dream’ into the real world?”
He couldn’t get that thought out of his head and quickly went about to test this unlikely hypothesis. He put the sword back to the damaged armour, and looked at other weapons in the palace.
Something quickly caught Fei’s eyes.
Further away at a corner of the palace was a huge, weirdly shaped double handed axe. The handle with the massive blade was at least five feet long, and looked to weigh about one hundred pounds. It stood by a black heavy armour. Its weight had put a dent in part of the tile floor.
A bizarre looking carving on the body of the axe made it look even more intimidating.
Fei rushed over there and picked it up. Suddenly, Fei felt the axe and him had become one, as if the axe was a part of his body.
He closed his eyes again and concentrated on the feeling.
“That’s tight, this is the feeling of my level 3【Weapon Mastery]in the ‘dream’. Especially with axes, because I was a barbarian.”
The double handed axe was like a windmill in Fei’s hands. All the axe techniques was performed by Fei at a master level, as if he had used axes for more than tens of years.
Fei felt that he can conclude that his hypothesis was proven completely.
He had actually acquired all the skills, strengths, damage and all the attributes of the level 5 barbarian in the “dream”.
The new found power had given Fei a profound sense of security.
“So this is the feeling of power, I wonder what level this power belongs to in this magical world?”
As Fei was feeling amazing about the new found power, He suddenly remembered that “Master” Lampard said something about enemies still sieging the castle.
“Maybe I should go take a look.” This thought grew stronger and stronger in Fei’s mind.
“Maybe I could help with my power.”
Fei decided to go. On the point of safety, He picked out the thickest, heaviest armour in the palace and put it on.
This armour had literally covered Fei from head to toe, with the only openings being the holes for Fei to see through.
Fei felt like he was wearing the first ever Iron Man suit from the movie [Iron Man I], the one that Robert Downey Jr. build in the Iraq.
This fifty pound armour would literally anchor Fei to the ground; but now, Fei felt like he was wearing a Nike brand, ultrathin, sweat resistant running gear.
Fei tapped the helmet with the axe.
“Tink! Tink! –”
Fei was satisfied to hear the sound. “Haha, no god damn arrows will get me now!”
“King Alexander! Roll out!”
Fei looked around as he left the palace quietly.
He was trying to show off in front of the guards, but who knew that there was no one guarding the king. The palace was just quite. As he kept walked, he saw two heavily wounded soldiers sleeping beside the palace’s main gate.
It looked like these two tired soldiers just came from the front line of battle.
“Shit! My palace is only guarded by two wounded soldiers, the battle must be at its peak.”
The battle cries were getting louder and louder as Fei got closer and closer to the main gate of the castle.
“There is no time to waste!” Fei thought as he started sprint even faster.
